ARRESTED AS DEsEKTER FROM THE SIGNAL
SERvICE.-Onicer Coleman placed William Storch
under arrest yesterday afternoon, charging him
with being a deserter from the United States
Signal Corps In November, 1885, it is said Storch
left Fort Myer without the consent OF the officer in
| charge, and Sergeant O'Brien OF the corps was
detailed to arrest him. The sergeant it is alleged
made fOrcibe entry into the residence OF StOrch'S
grandfather, who was i'll at that time, and this
| occasioned considerable comment. Storch made
good his escape and for two years has been in the
west. He stated to a STAR reporter this morning
that when he enlisted he was not twenty-one years
OF age but lacked eight months OF it, and that the
treatment he and others received warranted deser-
ton; that the food was badly cooked and served,
was insufficient in quantity, and that men were
| orenses. 81 was absent" continued Storch "for
| five days, at the end OF which time voluntarily
returned, and was Immediately confined in dark
| room without ventilation or bedding, and during
the first twenty-four hours OF my confinement was
given nothing TO eat or drink except one pint of
water and eight ounces OF bread"
